Book #24 - Ink: The Not-Just-Skin-Deep Guide to Getting A Tattoo

Just barely made my goal here. Yay! And finally something that wasn't assigned! This book is on loan from [livejournal.com profile] silverflight, after she got her beautiful magpie tattoo and I expressed my thoughts for someday getting one, she suggested I read this. It's exactly what the title says, and goes over the process (both modern and historical), things to consider and questions to ask when choosing an artist, different styles of tattoo, picking your design, aftercare, even touch-ups, cover-ups and removal. Just the whole works in layman's terms with realism but no scare tactics, demystifying the whole phenomenon for someone considering getting a tattoo.

Titls: Ink
Author: Terisa Green, PhD
Pages: 205


24 / 24 books. 100% done! Woot!

So the distribution looks like this:

Fantasy 33%
Hist. fiction 17%
Romance 13%
Drama 46%
Classic 42%
Nonfiction 8%
Assigned 42%
Play 25%

Not a bad spread. I wish I could have fit more "fun" reading in, but such is the life of an English major.
